How to Get the Angel Wing Eyeliner Look?

  • 1. Prep Your Canvas
The very first thing we need to do is create a smooth, blank canvas for the wing so the design really pops. Start by applying your favorite eyeshadow primer all over the lid to prevent any creasing throughout the day. Once that sets, grab a flat brush and gently pack a matte white eyeshadow across your entire eyelid, blending it softly up toward the brow bone.

  • 2. Outline the Shape
Next, take a freshly sharpened black eye pencil and carefully outline the top of your wing. You'll want to draw a sweeping, lifted line extending from the outer corner of your eye up toward the tail of your eyebrow. Keeping the pencil sharp is the secret to getting a crisp, clean outline!

  • 3. Draw the Feathers
Now comes the fun part: starting to draw the "feathers" of our angel wing. Using small, curved strokes, connect them to your main outline and overlap them slightly to mimic the texture of a real wing. Feel free to draw as many as you like—you can keep it delicate with just a few strokes, or go all out for a dramatic, fully feathered effect.

  • 4. Fill and Finish
Once your outline is complete, carefully fill in the wing with a creamy white eyeliner pencil, making sure not to smudge your feathered edges. Line your upper lash line to anchor the look, and finish up with a generous coat of mascara and some fluttery, natural-looking false lashes. For an extra magical touch, you can also highlight the inner corner of your eye with a shimmering pastel pink or mint eyeshadow!
